THE IMPALA TOUR

The British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa is set to be an experience of a life time and the three test matches are going to be three of the greatest rugby occasions of all time.

England Rugby Travel's Impala package includes all three test matches, The Lions v Emerging Boks and some great locations, including a stop-over in Mauritius.

Opening Weekend of the Impala Tour (Test Match in Durban - Sat 20 June)
Enjoy the build up and atmosphere surrounding the opening test match of the three match series in Durban. Durban is a coastal city which offers visitors a host of things to do. Visit England Rugby Travel's Durban guide for a few ideas.

Mid-Week Action of the Impala Tour (Provincial Match in Cape Town - Tues 23 June)
In-between the first and second test match, the Lions take on the Emerging Boks in Cape Town (internal flights included), one of South Africa's most picturesque cities. Enjoy five nights in this brilliant city, and why not try one of our optional excursions, such as the amazing Robben Island Tour?

Second Weekend of the Impala Tour (Test Match in Pretoria - Sat 27 June)

Mid-Week During the Imapla Tour
